Electromagnetic Simulation Consultant

You will own the electromagnetic model of our sensor: the antenna, the biological tissue it is loaded against, and the coupling between them. Your mandate is to establish which simulation tools can be trusted in this regime, prove it, and then help build faster surrogate models that preserve that trust well enough to sit inside an iterative design and inversion pipeline. This is a foundational technical role with real ownership. The electromagnetic model is one of the load-bearing pillars of the platform, and the person who builds it will shape the architecture of everything downstream

Responsibility :

 Build a full-wave electromagnetic model of the antenna and its loading environment as one coupled near-field system — not an antenna in free space. 

Cross-validate solvers against one another and against measurement.

 HFSS is our reference, but we treat "the reference solver agrees with itself" as insufficient evidence.

 Evaluate and help build faster and reduced-order electromagnetic models capable of standing in for full-wave solves inside optimization and inverse loops. 

Contribute to the forward and inverse problem — from fields to material and surface state, and back. 

Tell us where our electromagnetic model is wrong. 

This is an explicit deliverable, not a courtesy. 

Required qualifications

 Expert-level HFSS, with demonstrated work at mmWave frequencies (24 GHz and above) — automotive radar (60/77 GHz), 5G mmWave, E-band, W-band, satcom and similar all qualify. Fluency across 2-D, 2.5-D and 3-D solver formulations and time-domain analysis, with the judgment to know which is appropriate when — and when each will mislead you. Experience modeling lossy, dispersive materials at any frequency. 

This is the transferable core of the work. Antenna modeling including the loading and near-field environment. Measurement correlation — VNA measurement, calibration, de-embedding. 

We consider a simulation specialist who cannot close the loop against hardware to be half a hire. 

5+ years professional electromagnetic simulation experience; 10+ preferred. 

Availability for a long-term engagement. 

We want a durable working relationship, not a single project
